    MessageBoxPaddings

    To disable paddings or modify padding values, do one of the following.

    • Disable the static XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings property (affects all message boxes in your app).
    XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings = false;
    
    XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
    args.UseSkinPaddings = false;
    XtraMessageBox.Show(args);
    
    • Change ...Padding properties of the XtraMessageBoxArgs object to set up custom padding sizes for individual content blocks.
    XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
    args.ButtonPadding = new Padding(30);
    args.ContentPadding = new Padding(100);
    args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxPadding = new Padding(30);
    args.TextPadding = new Padding(30);
    args.IconPadding = new Padding(30);
    
    args.Icon = new Icon(@"D:\demoicon.ico");
    args.Caption = "XtraMessageBox";
    args.Text = "Do you really want to close the app?";
    args.Buttons = new DialogResult[] { DialogResult.Yes, DialogResult.No };
    args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxVisible = true;
    
    XtraMessageBox.Show(args);
    
    • Create a custom skin in WinForms Skin Editor and modify values of “Message Box Paddings” group properties.
